  1. New Approach to Designing Performance Level Descriptors: PARCC ELA/Literacy Summative Assessment

  2. What are Performance Level Descriptors? Performance Level Descriptors or PLDs describe what students at each performance level know and can do relative to grade-level or course content standards assessed.

  3. Building on Work to Date In October 2012 PARCC established 5 performance levels • Level 5: Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the Common Core State Standards assessed at their grade level. • Level 4: Students performing at this level demonstrate a solidcommand… • Level 3: Students performing at this level demonstrate a moderatecommand… • Level 2: Students performing at this level demonstrate a partialcommand… • Level 1: Students performing at this level demonstrate a minimal command…

  4. PARCC’s Process in Developing Performance Level Descriptors ELA OWG created charts that explained the three factors that determined the levels. ELA OWG created a cover page to accompany the PLDs English Language Arts Operational Working Group refined PLDs Information from meetings gathered and synthesis created PLD Grade Band Meetings Final Draft PLDs

  5. Claims for ELA/Literacy

  6. Three factors that determined the levels • Threefactors that determined the levels. (text complexity; range of accuracy; quality of evidence) Grade 11

  7. PARCC’s Process in Developing Performance Level Descriptors Grade 11

  8. PARCC’s Process in Developing Performance Level Descriptors Grade 11

  9. PARCC’s Process in Developing Performance Level Descriptors Grade 11

  10. Looking at the PLDs This row provides information about the patterns displayed by students in reading at this level This row provides information about the patterns displayed by students in writing at this level This column provides the level being described

  11. Looking at the PLDs These columns provide the written expression, knowledge of language and conventions that students are expected to demonstrate These columns provide the reading and vocabulary skills and content that students areexpected to demonstrate

  12. Staying True to the CCSS PLD writers wanted to stay true to the CCSS and therefore the PLDs are representative of this effort

  13. Standard 1 Always at Play Standard 1 Focused on a student’s ability to find text-based evidence for generalizations, conclusions, or inferences drawn

  14. Capturing What Students Can Do • PLDs • capture how all students perform • show understandings and skill development across the spectrum of standards and text complexity levels assessed
